Because the Cameron Highlands were at a higher altitude, the weather was really cool and the fresh air was invigorating. We went "jungle trekking" and it was really beautiful. The jungle was dense and dark and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We only saw four other tourists during the hike, two of which had been bicycling around the world for the past 4 years.  A lot of the literature warns that these hikes are dangerous, but the terrain was not very steep and the paths were well marked. This was one of our favorite places in Malaysia and I highly recommend it.

Our hostel was a converted army barracks.  It wasn't very appealing from the outside, but inside it was quite cozy and comfortable.
